tom watson has taken the lead of the u.s. open. captioning sponsored by cbs ♪ ♪ captioning sponsored by cbs >> glor: on the "cbs evening news" this tuesday, the nation's largest city declares a public health emergency as a measles outbreak grows across the country. >> people need to act immediately. >> new york mayor bill de blasio has ordered people in parts of brooklyn to get vaccinations as a measles outbreak is spreading. >> children are in danger. >> attorney general barr testifying on capitol hill. >> facing more questions about the mueller report. >> within a week, i will be in a position to release the report to the public. >> glor: more pleas to recall a baby sleeper linked to dozens of infant deaths. >> it turned out to be our worst nightmare. my heart's just broken that he's gone. lori loughlin and others accused in the college admissions

cheating scandal. >> the little fish are being whittled out. the bigger fish remain and they're in more trouble with each passing day. >> glor: and... >> i'm going to get you! >> glor: ...roman dinkel, the little inspiration who shows no signs of slowing down. good evening. i'm jeff glor and this is our western edition. we're going to begin here tonight with the nation's measles outbreak. it is already the largest in five years and is set to be the worst since measles was declared decimated in 2000. an outbreak in new york city led the mayor to declare a public health emergency in part of brooklyn today. there have been 465 cases in 19 states so far this year. tony dokoupil has more from the epicenter of the worst current outbreak. >> reporter: mayor bill de blasio's health emergency declaration was meant to stop the crisis from spreading. >> we have a situation now where children are in danger. we have to take this seriously. >> reporter: this orthodox

jewish section of williamsburg, brooklyn, is ground zero, where some 250 measles cases have been confirmed within the last nine months. the order requires residents older than six months who live or go to school in the affected area to get vaccinates or risk a $1,000 fine. and community religious schools known as yeshivas, must bar unvaccinated children or face shutdown. the city blames this school for letting unvaccinated children into the classroom, resulting in more than 40 cases of measles. today's emergency declaration also means a disagreement over the outbreak in this tight-knit community is spreading, too. >> i believe god has created all human perfectly. >> reporter: this woman has five children. none were vaccinated and all had measles in the last month. >> i cannot agree to a systematic way of just altering the immune system and testifying to god's imperfection. >> reporter: but this father believes all children should be vaccinated. >> you have to trust doctors. you have to trust the health department. >> reporter: it's reported one man with measles traveled from

brooklyn to michigan, which has since recorded 41 cases statewide. in fact, nationwide, there have been 78 new cases in the last week alone. oxiris barbot is new york city's health commissioner. >> the importance here is to maximize the number of individuals that are being vaccinated against the measles, and to allay any unnecessary, unfounded fears that people may have. >> reporter: and on the subject of fear, the c.d.c. says that vaccines are safe and effective. but since 2001, the percentage of young children who have not been vaccinated at all has quadrupled nationwide, and, jeff, despite that mandatory order, the city admits here that it can't physically force people to get a shot. >> glor: an interesting point. tony dokoupil from brooklyn. thank you very much. federal prosecutors raised the stakes today in the college admissions scandal. actress lori loughlin and her husband were among 16 parents hit with a new charge of money laundering conspiracy, which could bring longer prison

sentences. other parents, including actress felicity huffman, have already agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges. here's carter evans. >> reporter: as "full house" star lori loughlin tried to go about her normal routine today in los angeles, there was no escaping the college admission scandal. >> will you be accepting the plea deal? >> reporter: this afternoon, a federal grand jury formally indicted loughlin, her husband mossimo giannulli, and 14 other parents. they're accused of conspiracy to commit fraud, and now they're facing the added charge of money laundering for trying to write off bribes as charitable contributions. >> lori! >> reporter: loughlin and her husband are accused of paying rick singer, the admitted mastermind of the scheme, $500,000, to get their daughters into u.s.c. as members of the crew team, even though they never rowed competitively. on monday, actress felicity huffman admitted her role in the scandal and now plans to plead guilty, along with a dozen other parents. >> for felicity huffman, it was a one and done. she paid $15,000 to goose a

kid's s.a.t. score. now in terms of the people like lori loughlin, this was not a one-off. this was a continuing series of big-money payments. >> these are two very different people who have treated this really in a manner that is not comparable. so every time lori loughlin acts the way she acts, in comparison to felicity huffman's plea, lori loughlin gets herself in more and more trouble. >> reporter: each charge carries up to 20 years in prison and many legal experts believe all of the defendants will face at least some time behind bars. >> these people are already rich. they can write a check for restitution. who cares? this is an assault on american values. >> reporter: most of the defendants are not talking about the case, but two of them issued statements today vowing to fight the charges 'til the end. one of them called the case, jeff, "deeply flawed." >> glor: carter evans, thank you very much. attorney general william barr faced sharp questions from house democrats today on his handling

of the mueller report. he promised the full report, more than 300 pages, will come out soon. but nancy cordes reports, some will be blacked out. >> within a week i will be in a position to release the report to the public. >> reporter: that vow from the attorney general did not satisfy democrats who slammed barr's handling of the report from special counsel robert mueller, starting with this four-page synopsis barr released late last month. >> we offered to have bob review it before putting it out, and he declined. >> i didn't ask you about reviewing. i asked if you thought about having them help prepare the march 24 letter. i mean, they did the report, after all. >> no, i didn't think about it. >> why not? >> because it was my letter. >> reporter: barr acknowledged he chose not to release summaries prepared by mueller's team. >> i suspect that they probably wanted, you know, more put out.

>> reporter: but he insisted he did not mischaracterize mueller's findings. >> no collusion, no obstruction. it's over, it's done. >> well, the letter speaks for itself. >> i thought it did, too. >> reporter: after a two-year investigation, mueller's team was split over whether the president obstructed justice. they left it to the new attorney general, who made a decision in just two days. >> to do this, it seems your mind must have been already made up. >> reporter: barr said he is working with the special counsel to determine which passages in the 300 to 400-page report are sensitive and need to be kept secret. >> we will provide explanatory notes describing the basis for each redaction. >> reporter: but he refused to reveal whether anyone at the white house has gotten an early look. >> i'm not going to say anything more about it until the report is out and everyone has a chance to look at it.

>> reporter: the battle line tonight: barr insists he's is under no legal obligation to hand over the full, unredacted version of the mueller report to congress. but democrats now say if he scrubs even one line, jeff, they are issuing a subpoena and taking d.o.j. to court. >> glor: all right, nancy cordes, thank you very much. new figures released today show nearly 93,000 migrants were apprehended trying to cross the southern border illegally last month. that is the most in more than a decade. that includes a record number of parents and children traveling together. paula reid reports the white house is scrambling to find a solution. >> we're not looking to do that, no. >> reporter: president trump said today he will not reinstate his policy of separating migrant families that cross the border illegally. >> now, i'll tell you something. once you don't have it, that's why you see many more people coming. claims he's cleaning house a the department of homeland security after the secretary and other top officials were forced out. >> i don't know who came up with

that expression. we have a lot of great people over there. >> reporter: but a senior administration official says the white house is frustrated by the sprawling agency's inability to implement the president's immigration policies, including limiting asylum. according to the official, the white house wants to more thoroughly vet claims from people who say they fear returning to their home country and make it harder for asylum seekers to receive work permits, something the white house believes is a significant draw. >> and some of these people are not people you want in our country. >> reporter: the administration also wants to extend the amount of time it can detain migrant children beyond the current 20- day limit. customs and border protection said today it apprehended 8,900 unaccompanied children, and 53,000 family units in march. as the weather gets warmer, the white house says the total number of apprehensions could be as high as 150,000 in april. democratic senator richard blumenthal says the problem is not the bureaucracy.

it's the president. >> the rot begins at the top. president trump bears sole responsibility for the chaos and the unconstitutional action of his administration. >> reporter: many of the president's immigration policies have been blocked by the courts, but this recent effort to target asylum seekers seems more about the court of public opinion and galvanizing the president's supporters ahead of 2020. jeff. >> glor: paula reid at the white house. paula, thanks. bernie sanders plans a big announcement tomorrow. the democratic presidential candidate will introduce what he believes is a path to health care for everyone, often called medicare for all. ed o'keefe spoke to him today. >> reporter: there are some estimates that say this could cost maybe $10 or, $15 trillion over the next decade. >> no, no, no. look, we're spending $3.5 trillion right now. we are spending twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. what our system does is get rid of insurance companies and drug

companies making billions of dollars in profit every single year. >> reporter: and what happens to those insurance companies after your plan is implemented? >> if you want cosmetic surgery- - under medicare for all, we cover all basic health care needs. i suppose if you want to make yourself look a little bit more beautiful, you want to work on that nose, those ears, they can do that. >> reporter: so basically blue cross, blue shield would be reduced to nose jobs? >> something like that, yeah. >> glor: much more of ed's interview with bernie sanders tomorrow only on "cbs this morning." a huge snowstorm is heading for the central u.s. tonight. blizzard watches and warnings are up for denver and minneapolis. some areas could get up to two feet of snow between wednesday and friday. votes are still being counted tonight in israel. both prime minister benjamin netanyahu and challenger benny gantz are claiming victory, but netanyahu may have the upper hand as he seeks to become the longest serving prime minister in israel. seth doane is in tel aviv tonight. seth, how does it look at this

hour? >> reporter: it is a dramatic evening here, a real nail biter, with both sides actually declaring victory at this point. we are here in the blue-and- white headquarters. these are the party headquarters for benny gantz, a relative political newcomer. this party was just created just a couple of months ago, and not long ago he took the stage and declared victory. he said he would be israel's next prime minister. but here is the twist: prime minister benjamin netanyahu has also declared victory tonight and saying this evening he will start forming a government. so now you have both sides at this point declaring victory. now, 61 is the key number here. that is the number of seats that is needed here in the knesset to be able to form a coalition government. and whoever does rule, does move forward with israel here, is doing so at an interesting time where we've seen real u.s. policy shifts here in the region, including moving the

embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. and, of course, jeff, there is always that threat of violence in the region. >> glor: interesting time to say the least. all right, seth doane for us from tel aviv. seth, thank you very much. today, we learned the name of one of three u.s. marines killed in a bombing yesterday in afghanistan. christopher slutman was 43, a veteran firefighter, both in new york city and the kentland volunteer fire department in maryland. he leaves behind a wife and three children. the taliban claimed responsibility for that attack. the u.s. military initially said a contractor from afghanistan was also killed but said today the civilian survived. coming up next here on the "cbs evening news," a baby sleeper is linked to dozens of infant deaths, so why is it still on the market? our mood, activity or energy levels, can leave you on shaky ground.

"consumer reports" has linked 32 infant deaths to that sleeper.

jan crawford spoke to the parents of one of those children. >> reporter: in december 2017, keenan and evan overton awoke to find their five month old son ezra on his stomach unresponsive. >> i found ezra face down with his nose squished into the back of the seat, and he was already passed away. i picked him up, and he was like a doll. >> reporter: ezra died of suffocation. >> my heart is just broken that he's gone. >> reporter: and the overtons say his fisher-price rock 'n play sleeper was to blame. they're speaking out to warn other parents in the wake of a "consumer reports" investigation that found 32 babies have died in a rock 'n play, similar to the one used by ezra, their once-healthy, happy son. >> so we had no reason to suspect that it would be dangerous because it was fisher- price. you would think that it's-- it's a reputable company. >> reporter: "consumer reports" author rachel peachman says the magazine found deaths of babies

younger than three months, and says the sleeper's very design, on an incline, poses a risk to infants because they can suffocate if their heads tilt forward. >> and with this product being out on the market being marketed as a sleeper, parents are confused. >> reporter: in a statement to cbs news, fisher-price said the product meets safety standards and while the loss of a child is tragic and heartbreaking, it's essential that the product warnings and instructions are always followed. but the overtons say they had none of those warnings and did everything they could to keep ezra safe. >> i hope that it's never on the shelves again. i hope that they recall it. >> reporter: now, the american academy of pediatrics is calling for the consumer product safety commission to issue an immediate recall. the commission says there are guidelines that it must follow, but if there is evidence that the rock 'n play sleeper puts babies' lives at risk, they will take that step. jeff. >> glor: all right, jan, thank you very much. coming up here tonight, redemption for the 'hoos of
